Megaroad-class

Megaroad-13 or 13 Megaroad or Megaroad-class was a class of Macross-class ships built by UN Government around 2010s. It was the first human-built Macross-class ship (since SDF-1 Macross was effectively a restored alien ship).

The Megaroad class could hold a complement of 80,000 people. As a transport/colony ship, most of those were presumably colonists.

Construction of the first Megaroad vessel begun in November 2003 in the lunar base. Interrupted by Space War I, SDF-2 Megaroad-01 was launched in September 2012. Constructions of Megaroads 2 and 3 begun around the same time. On average, one or two Megaroad vessels would be completed and launched yearly for the next decade or so until superseded by the New Macross-class in 2030.

Megaroad-04: according to animation at the beginning of Macross Frontier, it has colonized Eden, which would suggest it should have reached it by November 2013 (which is the data Macross Chronicle gives for Eden's colonization). Megaroad-04 colonization of Eden is confirmed by a source.[2] At some point it embarked on further exploration, reaching planet Windermere in 2027.[3]

Megaroad-13: launched in 2019. In 2025 colonized planet Varauta. At some point afterward the Varauta colony has been taken over by Protodevilun.[6] Shown in the opening of Macross Frontier on animated map.
